Nashville, IN

This will be a mostly pictorial blog and I'm not the best photographer. My feelings won't be hurt if you can't stay the course, LOL!!
Dismal, gray and rainy though the weather may have been, our hearts were light, happy to see each other again, and I had the BEST TIME EVER!!!!
Nashville, IN is located in Brown County, one of the most beautiful places in Indiana. It's an Arts and Crafts community. . .and I mean REAL art! I wish I'd have taken more "outside" pictures and more furniture pictures, but. . .I'm a "foodie", what can I say??


 We ran into a lot of "closed" stores. Apparently they are all about the weekend and we weren't. But this expresses their "laid back" attitude perfectly. Lots of "stuff" is left sitting outside all the time. I suspect there is a low crime rate (the jail was empty).

 This is where we had dinner Monday night. Muddy Boots. The perfect end to a perfectly muddy day. It was good, just not what we expected. We enjoyed a guitar player singing songs from "back in the day" and when MB muttered something about poetry readings and bongos, I struggled with the food in my mouth that I couldn't swallow, nor chew because I couldn't control the explosive laughter that wanted to come out. So I just laughed til I cried.
 They have "stuff" for menfolk too :)



 Not "real" food. Looks good, doesn't it?
 How I feel about our AR Family. :)


 This is what we did that whole rainy afternoon. WE DANCED!!

 Apparently the big dog wanted to go for a ride.
TRANSLATION: You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. . .  Dr. Seuss. . .he was a genius, you know.


 Those are Keepers. Not real food, but clever storage devices. Too Cute!
 Floor mat in one of the shops.
Creepy Marionette.

 Vermouth Bleu Cheese Stuffed Olives. . . in the Wine Store, of course!


 Cookbooks and recipe holders.
 Cast Iron "words".
 Speaking of Laundry Soap. . .Hogwash!
 The hanging glass orbs are oil lights. . .and the stained glass Irises were gorgeous!
 These water pitchers "glug" when you pour from them.
 Wooden carved Morels.
Painted gourds. The penguins were so creative.









 This Santa sang and danced. . .kinda creepy.


Lunch, just before we left :) So delicious, Reuben, sweet potato fries with brown sugar syrup and broccoli slaw. 
 Lady Sparkle and Magnolia Blossom and our Very Good, Awesome, Delicious, Fun Adventure!!
Thanks Magnolia B.!!!

Buzzin with All-Recipeeps!

I've noticed a lot of new faces lately! Welcome! Most have "figured out" the workings of The Buzz. Some might still be wandering around lost. This will hopefully be helpful.
If you want to initiate a request on the Buzz, you have two options: Request a Recipe and Ask A Question. Not to harp on an old subject, but PLEASE always use Request a Recipe. You'll be surprised, no matter what the topic, food or OT, someone will find a witty recipe to share with you. 

Here you will word your request. If it's lengthy, just put the "basics" here and add more "inside" the post. Veteran buzzers will barge right in and help, I promise you.
Here is where you answer a recipe request (from the "lobby" of the buzz) or add a comment. Are you noticing the BLUE trend? Blue script is "clickable" and will take you somewhere else.
When answering a recipe request, you can choose a recipe from those you have recently viewed AND (bonus!) leave a comment! 
If you just want to visit inside the post, click on the BLUE recommendations, you can then see what others have recommended and chat with your friends.
Another thing I commonly see is "How Can I Share a Recipe"
Inside your Recipe Box, under the Options tab is an option to add a Personal Recipe. This will give you a form to fill out and many choices as to submission and sharing of the recipe.
I hope this is helpful.
